Source text - EnglishBatik is one the most well known traditional handicrafts in Malaysia and has found its way to the heart of the Malaysian culture and people. Batik refers to the process of wax-resist painting and dye painting to produce a multi-coloured intricate design to fabrics, containing traditional textiles with images of leafs, flowers and butterflies. The World Batik Council estimated in 2010 that there are approximately 700 Batik producers in Malaysia, with a dominated production in the Northeast of Malaysia in the states Kelantan and Terengganu.

However, the Batik industry is sorely afflicted: rapid industrialisation since the 90’s cost pressure and economic crisis at the end of the century have lead to some decline of the handicraft. It is the opportunity for batik producers to expand strategies towards eco Batik business to improve its profitability, competitiveness, and market share without compromising resources for future generations. Since textile world or market highly demand on environmental friendly textiles, it is appropriate to channel Malaysian Batik towards green issues. Eco Batik means the production of Batik concerning the environmental issues related to the use of energy, chemical usage, solid waste, contaminated land, emissions to atmosphere and other environmental issues.

BonusLink goes green
In keeping with the company’s commitment to bring awareness to the problem of Global Warming, BonusLink’s ‘GreenEarth’ Program is a significant part of the ‘7 Swipes to 7 Wonders’ campaign. With each Members’ first 7 swipes across three Partners, BonusLink will contribute 7 Points to the BonusLink ‘GreenEarth’ Program that will be used for environmental preservation and education projects. One of the initiatives under this education project is to make school children aware of Global Warming and teach them ways to reduce Global Warming. A team comprising of BonusLink staff, devised an interesting program conveying the message of Global Warming to children via interactive exercises. During the visit to schools, BonusLink staff also conducted tree-planting exercises, where tree saplings were presented to the schools for them to grow and nurture. Another initiative is to help BonusLink Members know more about Global Warming and environmental conservation. If you have any questions about Global Warming, visit www.bonuslink.com.my and ‘Ask Jothi’, BonusLink’s science expert, who will gladly provide the information needed.

“This is an initiative that we feel very strongly about because each of us can make a difference with very little effort,” said Victor. “For example, by signing up for an e-statement our Members can help save paper and thus, the environment.” sign

“With a membership base of 5.8 million Members, we are in an ideal position to spread the awareness about how to preserve the earth and keep it intact for our future generations.”

I grew up in Malaysia where Malay is the national language & furthered my studies (Undergraduate) in the UK for 2 years. The two years of studying and living abroad has helped to strengthen my fluency of the English language.

I've always have an interests in Translating, thus I decided to take a course in General Translation from the Malaysia National Institute of Translation, to better equip myself as a professional translator. Since then, I've always strive to improve my translation skills & quality.

For me, I consider it as a challenge to produce translation works which accurately convey the message and meaning of the original texts.

Being a meticulous, resourceful and reliable person myself, you can be assured of a high quality translation at a reasonable price.
